Yeah I think out of all the "strong wimmen" on the show, Brienne's character makes the most sense and is the most consistent. She's related to Ser Duncan the Tall, who was pretty much the most chivalrous bro in the Seven Kingdoms and one of the most famous knights in the history of Westeros, so the fact that she'd aspire to be like him in terms of honorable conduct isn't surprising.
You think you're pretty smart with your dago mustache and your greasy hair.

It's not that her aspirations are weird, it's that anyone else trying to be chivalrous gets murderfucked by GRRM to show that "honor is dead." Unless a woman is doing it.

Personally out of all women in the show, only ones I seriously dislike (in a please GTFO from the show way) is Daenerys, Yara and Brienne. Got no problems with any others because they don't go as over the top cringy alpha fail macho as they do and try to emasculate everyone around them as these ones.

I think Brienne deserves some credit due to her size at least. She's not that cringe worthy either, I mean she's butt ugly so she's gotta be chivalrous or else no one would think about going to bed with her.

I mean, that woman would cut half the people on this forum down before they could lick the cheeto dust off their fingers!

Yes, except no. What does her size have to do with anything? She's obviously not athletic, and not even considerably taller than the average man. The show does try to play it off as omg wow she so big that is where all her powurs come from, but it doesn't make any sense.

Look at all dem extras! Same guy that directed Hardhome as well!

Jon's battles have been rather well done IMO. Crasters Keep was good, Battle of Castle Black was awesome, Hardhome was awesome. I oozing out my tip waiting for this battle! I feel like they are going to pull out all of the stops for this cinematography wise, scale wise, choreography wise, etc.

She's 10 cm taller in the books, and much heavier.

But you have to keep in mind that the series is written by a fat man who wouldn't know what athleticism is if it hit him in the head. He uses "tall and heavy" as indicators of who's the toughest. Brienne's body type would be far from optimal for a female warrior, but GRRM uses height almost as the de facto indicator of fighting skill in the series (to an almost fetishist extent, with the Mountain being 240cm and the Hound being 220cm, Brienne being 200cm, Jaime 195, etc).

I hope he loses and the entire fucking army gets destroyed. If the most experienced battle commander in Westeros (alongside with Randyll, I guess) loses with a professional army, a cunt like Jon won't win with wildlings.

So I had a weird dream this night, like I was watching the very last episode of GoT.
I'll try to describe it as well as I can, so careful for spoilers!

Big epic battle between the living and the dead somewhere, Jon Snow leading people in battle and they kinda wreck the wights and WWs. Then, when it's almost done, the Night King appears and Jon goes to duel him. Night King uses dual swords for some reason and fights similarly to Dayne. He catches Jon between his blades, picks him up with it and slams into the ground, piercing him through afterwards. Jon screams as Night King's face transforms into John's. Margery, picks up a valyrian steel mace lying nearby (I'm sure I saw someone fighting with it before), and runs, screaming, towards them. I remember wondering who she is gonna hit - Jon or the Night King with Jon's face. But the king waves his hand as Margery approaches, and she falls dead.
Then, from afar, a huge writing "Конец" which is "The end" in Russian comes closer, bowls Jon's and Margery's bodies away and stands in the center of the screen.
Then I watch the preview to the next episode (nevermind that it was supposed to be the last episode, it's a dream), and I see a bunch of tied up rose branches magically walking the road somewhere, crying with Margery's voice. She stumbles upon naked Jon and Melisandre who take her to Melisandre's secret base with computers and stuff, somewhere in the woods. Jon says something about his survival, but I don't remember what it was. Then I saw Tormund sitting on the iron throne, trying to decide what to do next.

So here it is. Should I contact HBO to become a script writer?


PS: I wasn't drunk before, in process or after the dream, mind you.
